"Ms. White, long time no see."
"…" Janeth was rather speechless on how to respond.
This was the young master of the Bradley family. Those who didn't know would have thought that the two were at the very least acquaintances. But it was just a strangers´ one nightstand. Scratch that! Perhaps a night of accidental intimacy would suit the description.
After stating her need, a strange and peculiar smile flashed through the man´s face. Back then he had suffered looking for this woman, he had to get back at her for the whole mental torture and psychological grievances.
"And why should I help you?" Tom Bradley asked the woman. He had just gotten this opportunity, he had to utilize it.
"…"
Janeth tried thinking of all possible things to tell him, but she just couldn't. for instance, she could tell him of the son she bore with her, but he was all she had as her family. She suddenly thought of something s her eyes lit up.
"Basing on the fact that we are at least not total strangers," she responded.
Her implication was quite clear. Just because they had had an affair together, four years ago.
"Is that so? That is not enough. After all you can see that I have a very busy schedule."
Tom was still trying to embellish whatever scheme his mind was molding. He was an expert businessman after all.
Janeth didn't expect this response so all she could decide was to concert to whatever condition or request the man had. She was just complaisant for the sake of her grandpa´s health. Afterall, her senior brother had left him in her care before going back to the warring areas. He was a soldier and had to complete this mission.
